<p>While I was in school, I and friends would go to the local Catholic church for their soup kitchen, as a way to streach our school loans. I noticed that there were religious tables, and non-religious tables of folks talking. Sometimes it was a free for all or conversations concerning religion, and free thought.

<p>While I was in school, I and friends would go to the local Catholic church for their soup kitchen, as a way to streach our school loans. I noticed that there were religious tables, and non-religious tables of folks talking. Sometimes it was a free for all or conversations concerning religion, and free thought. Over the years, it became clear that many of the theists could be very irritating, coming over for their monologues, or monopolizing the conversations, a few times coming to blows. The church finally posted a open letter describing soup kitchen policy, ' no preaching or you will be evicted'. It did not stop the theists, but atleast it could be niped in the bud.</p> No I haven't been discriminat…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2013-01-08:1982180:Comment:12447622013-01-08T05:22:10.123Zonyango makagutuhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/onyangomakagutu
<p>No I haven't been discriminated at work. My colleagues are all religious but among my bosses, one is atheist, some are believers but it is not an issue at work.</p>

<p>Down in Cincinnati, Ohio, it's all about the Reds baseball team and the Bengals football team(the laughing stock of the NFL!). Gets old quick. Sometimes I feel like I would be a better American if I could just give two hoots about football and baseball. Lol.</p>

<p>I'm sure the original intent of this post is long past deadline, but the topic is still interesting. My atheist views brought all sorts of problems my way for years. I was judged by coworkers and bosses. I was asked at least once a week, via email, to become christian. I was treated with open and loud disrespect. It was a losing battle to fight it, so I either had to deal with it or quit. Then I got a new boss. Not only is he athiest, he is very outspoken, intelligent, and respectful…</p>

I was judged by coworkers and bosses. I was asked at least once a week, via email, to become christian. I was treated with open and loud disrespect. It was a losing battle to fight it, so I either had to deal with it or quit. Then I got a new boss. Not only is he athiest, he is very outspoken, intelligent, and respectful even when others are not. He and I talk about all sorts of things, including religion and atheism, openly and often. No one asks me to convert any more. No one judges me for my lack of beliefs. I no longer must cover up or downplay who I am. I am grateful for the turn of events but still very concerned that it couldn't happen naturally without him. </p> For the first time in my life…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2012-01-07:1982180:Comment:10206752012-01-07T15:24:15.908ZCitizen Atheisthttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/CitizenAtheist
<p>For the first time in my life I have a job that completely accepts me for who I am and what I do and do not believe. I have even posted my Pastafarian Certificate of Ordination in my classroom, framed. My boss has needled me a little about it, but has not asked me to remove it.</p>
